I keep reading that Mali's get pretty big.But I've never seen a big one.Does anyone own one? My oldest male is about 13 inches total length and he is about 4 years old.

Here is my full-grown female. I'm not exactly sure how long she is but she's certainly a handful.

I don't really know. I got her from a petstore where a breeder had just dropped her off less than a week before (she hadn't even been priced yet!). She was quite plump and healthy-looking. I didn't know she had leftover eggs that were stuck but it doesn't matter because she was just too pretty to pass up. The operation she had was a complete success and the vet got a lot of uro experience very quickly that day!
She eats a lot of food and her "output" reflects that as well. Her and Ra have been very friendly with each other (well, as friendly as lizards can get anyway) with no fighting or intimidation at all. I believe that the big size difference between them is a factor for living together peacefully.
If I had to guess her age, I would say she looks about 5 years old. If anyone out there is able to take an educated guess at her age, please feel free to post (I'd like to know roughly how old she may be).

Thanks

I have three Malis - two are about 3 years old (reportedly) and are still relatively small. I'm pretty sure one is male, but genders are honestly up for grabs on both of them.

Spike is full grown (age totally unknown), and he's about 15" long. He's snoozing the winter away, so I don't have any pictures to illustrate size, but here he is anyway:

I have not measured Archie, but I can tell you that only recently has he stopped growing, and he is now 7 years old. I think he is about 15 inches long. I think they continue to grow for quite a while. Particularly if you keep their protein consumption down.
